Experience of project 1 (two)

Last week, i went to the V&A museum, made a plan to visited three exhibition but miss two exhibition, still felt so sad. Luckily, the biggest thing i got was the furniture exhibition, i can comparison the difference between the western and eastern countries. Also i was watched about in 1754 the William Lindell and his son john designed one of the earliest Chinoiserie interiors in Britain.

They also try to used the bamboo and Chinese landscape painting on the wall. That’s was really surprise me, i think the designer mixed Chinese element and European culture, to created furniture full of Chinese style form a European i was never imaged any Chinese things could appear here, i searched 1754 was Qing dynasty in China, the last dynasty. But one thing we know for sure, Chinese culture has a great influence on world culture.

I think the designers may spend lots of time and energy to learn the Chinese culture, maybe they traveled thousands of miles to China,asked the local people and search many history books. That was really hard work, they are role model for me. I enjoyed the process of learning the old furniture in the museum, because learned about history and foreign cultures can help me to improve my design aesthetic.
